1 Samuel 1:11

And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

And she vowed {H5087} a vow {H5088}, and said {H559}, O LORD {H3068} of hosts {H6635}, if thou wilt indeed {H7200} look {H7200} on the affliction {H6040} of thine handmaid {H519}, and remember {H2142} me, and not forget {H7911} thine handmaid {H519}, but wilt give {H5414} unto thine handmaid {H519} a man {H582} child {H2233}, then I will give {H5414} him unto the LORD {H3068} all the days {H3117} of his life {H2416}, and there shall no razor {H4177} come {H5927} upon his head {H7218}.

Then she took a vow; she said, "ADONAI-Tzva'ot, if you will notice how humiliated your servant is, if you will remember me and not forget your servant but will give your servant a male child, then I will give him to ADONAI for as long as he lives; and no razor will ever come on his head."

And she made a vow, pleading, “O LORD of Hosts, if only You will look upon the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, not forgetting Your maidservant but giving her a son, then I will dedicate him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall ever come over his head.”

And she vowed a vow, and said, O Jehovah of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give unto thy handmaid a man-child, then I will give him unto Jehovah all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
